Hoppe: "Democracy allows for A and B to band together to rip off C. This is not justice, but a moral outrage."

Hoppe: "What is true, just, and beautiful is not determined by popular vote. The masses everywhere are ignorant, short-sighted, motivated by envy, and easy to fool. Democratic politicians must appeal to these masses in order to be elected. Whoever is the best demagogue will win. Almost by necessity, then, democracy will lead to the perversion of truth, justice and beauty."

Hoppe: "Democracy virtually assures that only bad and dangerous men will ever rise to the top of government."

Hoppe: "If the right to vote were expanded to seven year olds … its policies would most definitely reflect the ‘legitimate concerns’ of children to have ‘adequate’ and ‘equal’ access to ‘free’ french fries, lemonade and videos."

Hoppe: "Egalitarianism, in every form and shape, is incompatible with the idea of private property."

Hoppe: "Democracy has nothing to do with freedom. Democracy is a soft variant of communism, and rarely in the history of ideas has it been taken for anything else."

Hoppe: "The state operates in a legal vacuum. There exists no contract between the state and its citizens."

Hoppe: "It is states that are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people and immeasurable destruction in the 20th century alone. Compared to that, the victims of private crimes are almost negligible."

Hoppe: "Private property implies exclusivity, inequality, and difference."
